And the number of layers can be reduced, and the thickness of the plate portion, and thus the housing, can be reduced to reduce the size and weight.

　上記のように構成した請求項２に係る発明においては、バスバーの端部をコイルの軸線と平行な平面内で屈曲し、コイル端子から離れてコイル軸線方向に貫通穴内で延在する伸長部およびコイル軸線と直角方向に延在する接合部からなる端子部となし、接合部の自由端部でコイル端子に接合するので、請求項１に記載の発明の効果に加え、熱負荷によりコイル端子とバスバーの端子部との接合点に生じる応力を確実に軽減することができる。 In the invention according to claim 2 configured as described above, the end portion of the bus bar is bent in a plane parallel to the axis of the coil, and extends from the coil terminal in the through-hole in the coil axis direction apart from the coil terminal; Since there is no terminal part consisting of a joining part extending in a direction perpendicular to the coil axis and joining to the coil terminal at the free end of the joining part, in addition to the effect of the invention according to claim 1, the coil terminal is connected to the coil terminal by thermal load.

以下本発明に係る電子制御ユニットの筐体の第１の実施形態を、車両のアンチスキッドブレーキシステムにおいて各ホイールシリンダに供給される油圧を制御する調圧装置１０に適用した場合について図１乃至３に基づいて説明する。調圧装置１０は、ホイールシリンダに供給される油圧を制御するソレノイドバルブが設けられたブロック１１、および該ブロック１１に固定された筐体に取り付けられた電子制御ユニットから構成されている。ブロック１１の内部にはソレノイドバルブの弁部などの制御機器が収納され、上面にはコイル１２を収納するハウジングが複数個かしめにより固定され、該コイル１２により弁部が作動されるようになっている。１３は樹脂製の筐体で、ブロック１１の上面と平行に形成されたプレート部１５にはバスバー１４がブロック上面と平行に２層にして埋設され、プレート部１５の周囲には側壁１６が突設されている。筐体１３は全コイル１２を覆うように側壁１６の端面をブロック１１の上面に当接させ、ボルトによりブロック１１に固定されている。１７は防水パッキングで、側壁１６の端面に中心線に沿って刻設された環状溝に嵌入され、ブロック１１の上面に当接してコイル１２が収容される空間の防水を行っている。プレート部１５の背面には複数の支柱１８が突設され、該支柱１８の先端に電子制御ユニットの基板１９がスナップフィットにより固定されている。    Hereinafter, a case where the first embodiment of a housing of an electronic control unit according to the present invention is applied to a pressure regulator 10 for controlling a hydraulic pressure supplied to each wheel cylinder in an anti-skid brake system of a vehicle will be described with reference to FIGS. It will be described based on. The pressure adjusting device 10 includes a block 11 provided with a solenoid valve for controlling a hydraulic pressure supplied to a wheel cylinder, and an electronic control unit attached to a housing fixed to the block 11. A control device such as a valve portion of a solenoid valve is housed inside the block 11, and a plurality of housings housing a coil 12 are fixed on the upper surface by caulking, and the valve portion is operated by the coil 12. I have. Reference numeral 13 denotes a resin housing, in which a bus bar 14 is embedded in two layers in parallel with the block upper surface in a plate portion 15 formed parallel to the upper surface of the block 11, and a side wall 16 protrudes around the plate portion 15. Is established. The housing 13 has an end face of the side wall 16 in contact with the upper surface of the block 11 so as to cover all the coils 12, and is fixed to the block 11 by bolts. Reference numeral 17 denotes a waterproof packing, which is fitted into an annular groove formed along the center line on the end face of the side wall 16 and contacts the upper surface of the block 11 to waterproof the space in which the coil 12 is accommodated. A plurality of columns 18 protrude from the back surface of the plate portion 15, and a substrate 19 of the electronic control unit is fixed to the tip of the column 18 by snap fitting.

プレート部１５には、コイル１２に対応して複数の貫通穴２０が穿設され、各貫通穴２０内でコイル１２のハウジングから突出したコイル端子２１とバスバー１４の端子部２２とが接合されている。即ち、コイル端子２１は貫通穴２０内でコイル１２の軸線方向に延在し、バスバー１４の端部はコイル１２の軸線と平行でバスバー１４が多数配策される主要配策方向と平行な平面内で２回屈曲され、コイル端子２１から離れてコイル軸線方向に貫通穴２０内で延在する伸長部２３、およびコイル軸線と直角方向に延在して自由端部でコイル端子２１に接合される接合部２４からなる端子部２２となっている。各貫通穴２０はバスバー１４が屈曲する平面と平行な薄幅に形成されている。これにより、バスバー１４が多数配策される主要配策方向と直角な方向の貫通穴２０の幅を薄くすることができ、バスバー１４を配策する一層の面積或いは配策許容範囲が広くなり、１層当たりのバスバー１４の配策本数が多くなり、層の数を減らして、プレート部１５、延いては筐体１３の厚さを薄くして小型、軽量化することができる。バスバー１４の他端は、屈曲してプレート部１５外に延出し基板１９に半田付けにて接続されている。２５はカバーで、基板１９などを覆ってプレート部１５の背面に振動溶着などにより固定されている。    A plurality of through holes 20 are formed in the plate portion 15 corresponding to the coils 12, and a coil terminal 21 protruding from the housing of the coil 12 and a terminal portion 22 of the bus bar 14 are joined in each through hole 20. I have. That is, the coil terminal 21 extends in the axial direction of the coil 12 in the through hole 20, and the end of the bus bar 14 is parallel to the axis of the coil 12 and parallel to the main routing direction in which a large number of bus bars 14 are arranged. The extension portion 23 is bent twice in the inside, extends away from the coil terminal 21 in the coil axis direction in the through hole 20, and extends in the direction perpendicular to the coil axis line and is joined to the coil terminal 21 at a free end. The terminal portion 22 is formed of a joining portion 24 which is formed. Each through hole 20 is formed in a thin width parallel to a plane on which the bus bar 14 is bent. Thereby, the width of the through-hole 20 in the direction perpendicular to the main routing direction in which the bus bars 14 are routed in large numbers can be reduced, and the area for routing the bus bars 14 or the allowable range of routing can be increased. The number of bus bars 14 per layer increases, the number of layers can be reduced, and the thickness of the plate portion 15 and thus the housing 13 can be reduced to reduce the size and weight. The other end of the bus bar 14 is bent out of the plate portion 15 and connected to the substrate 19 by soldering. Reference numeral 25 denotes a cover which covers the substrate 19 and the like and is fixed to the back surface of the plate portion 15 by vibration welding or the like.

調圧装置１０を組み付けるには、コイル１２のハウジングをブロック１１の上面にかしめて固定し、筐体１３を側壁１６の端面をブロック１１の上面に当接してボルトで固定する。コイル１２の端子２１とバスバー１４の端子部２２とを溶接して接合する。支柱１８の先端に基板１９をスナップフィットにより固定し、バスバー１４の他端を基板１９に半田付けにて接続する。カバー２５を基板１９等を覆ってプレート部１５の背面に固定する。    In order to assemble the pressure regulator 10, the housing of the coil 12 is fixed by caulking to the upper surface of the block 11, and the housing 13 is fixed by bolts with the end surface of the side wall 16 in contact with the upper surface of the block 11. The terminal 21 of the coil 12 and the terminal portion 22 of the bus bar 14 are welded and joined. The board 19 is fixed to the tip of the support column 18 by snap fitting, and the other end of the bus bar 14 is connected to the board 19 by soldering. The cover 25 covers the substrate 19 and the like and is fixed to the back surface of the plate portion 15.

電子制御ユニットの指令により基板１９からバスバー１５、端子部２２、コイル端子２１を介してコイル１２に通電されると、ソレノイドバルブが開いてホイールシリンダに油圧が供給される。調圧装置１０は、使用される温度範囲が極めて広く、かつ筐体１３が樹脂製であり、ブロック１１およびコイル１２が金属製であるので線膨張係数が異なり、コイル１２の端子２１とバスバー１４の端子部２２との接合点２６には、熱負荷により水平方向D、垂直方向E、引き剥がし方向Fに応力が生じるが、端子部２２ではコイル端子２１と直角方向および軸線方向にコイル端子２１との接合点２６から接合部２４の長さＡ、伸長部２３の長さＢだけ離れるようにオフセットされているので、上述の応力を確実に軽減することができる。    When the coil 12 is energized from the board 19 via the bus bar 15, the terminal portion 22, and the coil terminal 21 according to a command from the electronic control unit, the solenoid valve opens and hydraulic pressure is supplied to the wheel cylinder. The pressure regulating device 10 has a very wide temperature range, the casing 13 is made of resin, and the block 11 and the coil 12 are made of metal. At the junction 26 with the terminal portion 22 of the terminal portion 22, stress is generated in the horizontal direction D, the vertical direction E, and the peeling direction F due to the thermal load. The above-mentioned stress can be surely reduced because it is offset so as to be separated from the joining point 26 by the length A of the joining portion 24 and the length B of the extending portion 23.

　上記第１の実施形態では、伸長部２３および接合部２４を直線状に形成しているが、図４に示すようにバスバー１４の伸長部２３ａをバスバー１４の屈曲平面内でＳ字状に屈曲させてもよく、或いは屈曲数をＳ字より多く屈曲させてもよい。
　また、図５に示すように、バスバー１４の接合部２４ａをバスバー１４の屈曲平面内で緩やかな波状に屈曲させてもよく、或いは図６のように接合部２４ｂを直線部の両端を円弧で接続して九十九折状に屈曲させてもよい。
　さらに、図７に示すように伸長部２３ｃをバスバー１４の屈曲平面内で九十九折状に屈曲させ、左右の屈曲円弧部をコイル端子２１の左右両側に位置させて伸長部２３ｃの九十九折部がコイル端子２１を左右に横切るようにしてもよい。この場合、伸長部２３の九十九折部がコイル端子２１と干渉するのを避けるために、接合部２４が溶接されるコイル端子２１の上端部２１ａを伸長部２３から離れる方向に僅かにオフセットさせるとよい（図８参照）。
　このように伸長部２３、接合部２４を屈曲させることにより、伸長部２３、接合部２４の屈曲した部分でも容易に伸縮可能となり、上述の熱負荷による応力を更に低減することができる。
　上記第１の実施形態では、バスバーの端部を２回屈曲して伸長部と接合部を形成し、接合部の自由端部でコイル端子に接合しているが、バスバーの端部を一回屈曲して伸長部を形成し、該伸長部を湾曲させて自由端部でコイル端子に接合するようにしてもよい。 In the first embodiment, the extending portion 23 and the joining portion 24 are formed linearly. However, as shown in FIG. 4, the extending portion 23a of the bus bar 14 is bent in an S-shape within the bending plane of the bus bar 14. Alternatively, the number of bends may be more than the S-shape.
Further, as shown in FIG. 5, the joint 24a of the bus bar 14 may be bent in a gentle wave shape within the bending plane of the bus bar 14, or, as shown in FIG. It may be connected and bent in a 99-fold form.
Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the extending portion 23 c is bent in a 99-fold manner in the bending plane of the bus bar 14, and the left and right bent arc portions are located on the left and right sides of the coil terminal 21, and the 90-degree bending of the extending portion 23 c is performed. The nine-fold part may cross the coil terminal 21 left and right. In this case, the upper end 21a of the coil terminal 21 to which the joint 24 is welded is slightly offset in a direction away from the extension 23 in order to prevent the 99-fold part of the extension 23 from interfering with the coil terminal 21. (See FIG. 8).
By bending the extending portion 23 and the joining portion 24 in this manner, the bent portion of the extending portion 23 and the joining portion 24 can be easily expanded and contracted, and the stress due to the above-described thermal load can be further reduced.
In the first embodiment, the end portion of the bus bar is bent twice to form the extension portion and the joining portion, and the joining portion is joined to the coil terminal at the free end portion. It may be bent to form an extension, and the extension may be curved and joined to the coil terminal at a free end.

　次に、第２の実施形態について、第１の実施形態との相違点のみを図９、図１０に基づいて説明する。コイル１２の端子２１がコイル１２の軸線と平行な平面内で屈曲し、コイル軸線方向に貫通穴２０内で延在する延在部２７およびコイル軸線と直角方向に延在する屈曲部２８となっている。バスバー１４の端部がコイル軸線と直角な平面内で延在部２７を通過して延在した後に、コイル端子２１の屈曲平面と平行な平面内で屈曲し、延在部２７から距離Ａだけ離れてコイル軸線方向に貫通穴２０内で延在して屈曲部２８に接合される伸長部２９となっている。コイル端子２１および伸長部２９において、屈曲部２８と伸長部２９との接合点２６が延在部２７から長さＡだけ、バスバー１４から長さＢだけ離れるようにオフセットされているので、上述の応力を確実に軽減することができる。貫通穴２０はコイル端子２１が屈曲する平面と平行に薄幅に形成されている。なお、バスバー１４の端部がコイル軸線と直角な平面内で延在部２７を通過して延在するので、延在部２７はバスバー１４との干渉を避けるように根元部分で僅かにオフセットされている。 Next, only the differences between the second embodiment and the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The terminal 21 of the coil 12 is bent in a plane parallel to the axis of the coil 12 to form an extending portion 27 extending in the through hole 20 in the coil axis direction and a bending portion 28 extending in a direction perpendicular to the coil axis. ing. After the end portion of the bus bar 14 extends through the extending portion 27 in a plane perpendicular to the coil axis, the end portion of the bus bar 14 is bent in a plane parallel to the bending plane of the coil terminal 21 and is separated from the extending portion 27 by a distance A. The extension portion 29 extends apart in the through hole 20 in the axial direction of the coil and is joined to the bent portion 28. In the coil terminal 21 and the extension portion 29, the joining point 26 between the bent portion 28 and the extension portion 29 is offset from the extension portion 27 by a length A and away from the bus bar 14 by a length B. Stress can be reliably reduced. The through hole 20 is formed to be thin and parallel to a plane where the coil terminal 21 is bent. Since the end of the bus bar 14 extends through the extending portion 27 in a plane perpendicular to the coil axis, the extending portion 27 is slightly offset at the root portion so as to avoid interference with the bus bar 14. ing.

　上記第２の実施形態では、バスバー１４の伸長部２９を直線状に形成しているが、図１１に示すように伸長部２９ａをバスバー１４の屈曲平面内で波状に屈曲させてもよい。このように伸長部２９ａを屈曲させることにより、伸長部２９ａの屈曲した部分でも容易に伸縮可能となり、上述の熱負荷による応力を更に低減することができる。 In the second embodiment, the extension 29 of the bus bar 14 is formed in a straight line. However, the extension 29 a may be bent in a wavy shape within the bending plane of the bus bar 14 as shown in FIG. By bending the extending portion 29a in this manner, the bent portion of the extending portion 29a can be easily expanded and contracted, and the stress due to the thermal load can be further reduced.

図１２，１３に示す第３の実施形態では、コイル１２の端子２１をコイル１２の軸線と平行な平面内で第２の実施形態の場合と反対方向に屈曲し、バスバー１４の端部をコイル１２の軸線と直角な平面内で延在部２７を通過する前にコイル端子２１の屈曲平面と平行な平面内で屈曲している点のみが第２の実施形態と異なる。    In the third embodiment shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the terminal 21 of the coil 12 is bent in a plane parallel to the axis of the coil 12 in the direction opposite to that of the second embodiment, and the end of the bus bar 14 is coiled. The second embodiment differs from the second embodiment only in that the coil terminal 21 is bent in a plane parallel to the bent plane before passing through the extending portion 27 in a plane perpendicular to the axis of the twelve.

　上記実施形態では、コイルを収納するハウジングをブロックの上面にかしめにより固定しているが、コイルを収納するハウジングを筐体に保持し、弁に連結されたコアを収納してブロックに突設された弁ドームにコイルを嵌合させながら筐体をブロックに固定するようにしてもよい。 In the above embodiment, the housing for housing the coil is fixed to the upper surface of the block by caulking, but the housing for housing the coil is held in the housing, and the core connected to the valve is housed so as to protrude from the block. The housing may be fixed to the block while fitting the coil to the valve dome.
